Nothing wrong with Guinness in and of itself, but I've seen people talk more shit about Guinness than any other beer. It's mass produced just like any other popular beer, but people think there is some science into the pouring of it, and some people even go as far as to make a big deal about how many have poured so far today, or how far through the keg a bar is. It's just beer, and I've had at least 100 stouts that are better.

If you don’t give enough for the preacher / pastor / priest to get that new jet you are really going to hell.

That just sounds like bullshit; you can run into that with anything.

This is bullshit that people really believe. Especially that "perfect pour" stuff. It's all marketing, but people believe it. No idea why Guinness is more popular than any other stout by a factor of 1,000 and I have no idea why.

Cigars are the same way some people believe that they need to be paying $20+ for a cigar from a ultra specific growing region but in a blind taste test I doubt 99% of them could tell the difference between a $7 dollar cigar and a $20 one.

I like my drinks cold and my food hot. Room temp beer sounds terrible

Yeah room temperature beer is just dumb.
If it's cold and wet and hasn't gone skunky I'll drink whatever.
